I have read that there is a developer setting to hide the notch (black on either side). Is there an app that will do this based on which app you are using?
Thanks!

I hate the notch and cannot imagine when I would ever want to see it. So, yes, I disabled it in Developer Settings.
But, to your question, I would be very surprised if an app doesn't turn up soon to do what you want.
My wife felt the same way and she has also eliminated the notch with the option in Developer Settings.
Seems insane to me that Google didn't build an appropriate solution to hiding the notch. Other companies have the option to hide the notch and still keep the notifications/icons, but Google only has a sub-optimal solution that's not intended for consumer use.
If I had the 3XL, it'd annoy me that to hide the notch, it'd require the blacking out that part of the screen and essentially make it dead space.

How would you propose to do that, exactly?
The notch exists to make room for the front-facing camera, proximity sensor, and speaker. That leaves two options, 1) put them in a horizontal bar all by themselves (which removing the notch effectively does or 2) build a notch around them.
What is the third option?
How about using Tasker. When the app you want activates, use AutoInput to trigger the setting to disable the notch.
